Esketamine

7 hypotheses across 3 therapeutic domains

CROSS-DOMAIN PATTERN

Same drug, multiple disease domains

Esketamine appears in hypotheses across 3 disease domains: ALS, Epilepsy, Multiple sclerosis. Shared mediators that recur across at least two of those domains: NMDA receptor.

Aggregated from the catalog. Biological interpretation of any multi-indication mechanism would require independent validation — this is a structural observation only.
